## blt::logging.v2
Found in the header file `include/std/logging.h`, blt::logging is a fast and simple
single header logging library which can be used independently of BLT. Just include
the header file anywhere in your project and in ONE cpp file define `#define BLT_LOGGING_IMPLEMENTATION`.
If you are using BLT as a CMake library (as you should!) this is done for you.
- ### Compile Time Config
- Using CMake
- Several options are provided which disable various logging contexts, as such global logging can be disabled by passing `-DBLT_DISABLE_LOGGING:BOOL=ON`
- Options follow the pattern of `BLT_DISABLE_LEVEL` where level is one of `TRACE`,`DEBUG`,`INFO`,`WARN`,`ERROR`, or `FATAL`.
- This allows for individual logging levels to be disabled while leaving the others functional. These options can be combined.
- See CMakeLists.txt for a complete list of options.
- Standalone
- The CMake options define global variables in a config file. If you are using logging standalone you will need to remove the config include.
- Macros can be used in the same pattern of `BLT_DISABLE_LEVEL` to disable the various logging levels
